California law provides some of the strongest workplace protections in the nation but it takes an experienced attorney to help you fight for your rights.
Sexual harassment is inappropriate or offensive conduct that is severe or pervasive enough to alter an employee’s working conditions.
The U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) defines workplace sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances or conduct of a sexual nature which unreasonably interferes with the performance of a person’s job or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Sexual harassment can range from persistent offensive sexual jokes to inappropriate touching to posting offensive material on a bulletin board. Sexual harassment at work is a serious problem and can happen to both women and men.
Both state and federal laws protect employees from sexual harassment at work. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While Title VII is the base level for sexual harassment claims, states have sexual harassment laws which may be even more strict. Check the laws of your state for more information.
Sexual harassment can take so many forms, from inappropriate touching and requests for sexual favors, to crude and offensive jokes and comments. It takes experienced harassment lawyers to properly evaluate your claims.
